Is it possible to include the chat in the module Application Toolbar (Appbar) ?
This where perfect, because you can use the Toolbar for other application.

That is not posible by the moment.
Maybe in the future.

Thanks.

Bump, as a future request. Could we maybe get a postponed on this? I really see Appbar and this module as being totally complementary. Great work on this amazing module by the way.

Thanks,

Thomas

I was just coming to file an issue for this. :) This looks like a very nice module but I don't want two toolbars sitting at the bottom of the screen. Hopefully either you or someone with the skills/time will make this happen.

Hi, I'm the maintainer of Appbar. Appbar's API makes integrating with it very straightforward, but the integration belongs in bowob. I would write the code, but the bowob code doesn't have any theming functions or any way to just get the chat to show up.

Due to bowob is a third-party dependent module, theme side can't be integrated with drupal.

Well, it could in 6.x-8.5...

It could probably still be done using CSS. I won't have time to look into it for at least a couple months though.

Why are you bumping this 1 day after he said it would be a couple months?

it has been more than a couple of months since your reply, has this progressed at all?

I don't think it's possible on the Appbar side. The Bowob people would have to make some adjustments to make their visual components more granular.

IceCreamYou, what adjustments do you need ?
Now, in Bowob 6.x-9.0, css allows 100% layout customization.

The way Appbar 2.x is set up, Bowob could integrate with Appbar if its components could be displayed in a block. However it's not designed to do that -- it looks like the remotely included Bowob scripts create their own HTML for the chat bar/tabs/popup-windows that is independent of the Drupal blocks system.

Bowob scripts create their own HTML, but father tags are created by Drupal (bowob module):

<div id="bowob_bar"></div>
<div id="bowob_config"></div>
<div id="bowob_head"></div>
<div id="bowob_tabs"></div>
<div id="bowob_head_window"></div>
<div id="bowob_config_window"></div>
<div id="bowob_window"></div>

So it can be added to a Drupal block.

Hmm. In that case it might be possible to add Bowob to Appbar with the Inline setting, although there would be some CSS work necessary to make the two work together nicely. However that's assuming that Bowob will still work correctly if the "bowob_bar" div doesn't exist, since obviously it wouldn't be possible to put the entire Bowob bar onto the Appbar.

Hi -- I really like the look of Bowob -- would even like to try out the pro level. However, neither I nor my users can live without Appbar (thanks IceCreamYou for such a great module). So if it's a choice between the two, I'd have to go with Appbar.

I have looked through the code to see how the two can be integrated but I don't see it...

I would be happy to some testing...!

Yes, Bowob will still work correctly if the "bowob_bar" div doesn't exist.
"bowob_bar" is just for paint a background.
